The SSM class, presented by Chris was great. I like the fact that they managed to package the class up into only 2 days and you didn't have to just sit there and watch Ferris Bueller's teacher give a boring Preso. The class was very interactive and hands-on covered all the points required to thoroughly learn the info. Chris made it interesting and funny and to make sure we weren't asleep he constantly quizzed us and took the time to stop along the way to say 'You might see this on the exam'. I'm planning on taking further Scrum and SAFe classes and its a no brainer where I will be taking them. Good stuff!

This course was wonderful and Harry is an excellent instructor. I currently work on a scaled project and was constantly finding tips to leverage in my work both from the content and from Harry's instruction and examples. I can't recommend him and this course highly enough!
Monet DuvalAfter reading profiles and reviews of a number of LPM trainers, I knew I wanted to take Harry's class, and I'm glad that I did. Harry does a great job making the LPM training relevant to each individual in the class. He engages everyone and does what is needed to ensure that everyone understands the concepts. His support outside the class is also incredibly valuable--sending pre-reads, examples, case studies, and templates that can be used in real life. I definitely recommend taking the LPM course with Harry if you get the chance!
Elyse MI attended the "Leading SAFe" course offered by Skillbook this past weekend and while I was not excited to spend my weekend in front of the computer I signed up. I must admit that the course far exceeded my expectations! Harry Narang and Jim were EXCELLENT instructors. The class was interesting, informative, and fun. I loved the group exercises and examples. Harry knows how to keep the participants engaged and took the extra time to answer specific questions. I will definitely take more classes that he is leading!
Teresa WilliamsI took the SAFe for Arch Certification Workshop with Harry Narang as the trainer. It was an informative and creative training session. Harry shared his real world experiences and made it rich and lively. He helped us put on our thinking hats , come up with ideas, made us realize our pain points & our areas of improvement. Thanks Harry!
SuniThis is one of the best classes (SAFe Agilist) I have attended in recent times!! Harry did exceptionally well by relating real life examples to explain every concept and definition. He was very engaging, explained all topics in great detail and shared his personal SAFe implementation experience which added lots of value to the course. I'm looking forward to enhancing my SAFe skills by taking more courses from him!
